Wit a vengeance. Why? Simply
because we determined to put an
end to the so-called price cutting in
this lino that Is commonly adver
tised In the papers, but falls to ma
terialize at the counter.
We had a way of getting them not
uncommon to us. We knew that
the bottom had literally fallen out
of the market and that spot cash
was a great temptation to sell. We
tried the experiment. Here's the

Prospects That the Hen in
Twin Shaft Will Soon
Be Reached.
GOOD PROGRESS YESTERDAY
Rescue Crews Are Now Going Down
the Slope Near the Bottom of
Which It Is Thoaght Some of the
Hen Are Incidents of the Day's
Work What the Officials Say.
Another day the third has passed,
and still there Is no pronounced change
In the situation at the Twin shaft,
Plttston. .
The settling has ceased to such an
extent as to give sanguine hope that
the bodies wfll be recovered and that
with the greatest good luck the scene
of the fall will be reached In time to
rescue any of the entombed men who
may have, by some miracle, escaped in
stant death.
It is not doubted by the expert miners
but that air is coming quite freely
through the debris of the cave-In, and
that if any of the men are Imprisoned
alive in some cavity, they are not ne
cessarily In danger of suffocation. The
mine Is not Hooded; that is quite cer
tain; and If any of the men escaped
death from the fall, the main danger
lies In their not being reached in time.
The officials strive, and very wisely,
too, to tone down the rumors of the men
being possibly rescued alive, for in the
cold, practical view of the matter,
there Is no glimmer of hope of such a
result, and It is not a charity, but a
cruelty, to the sorrowing relatives to
raise their hopes when It is almost a
positive certainty that they will be
dashed down again. .
It Is a fact, though, that the pros
pects were brighter yesterday than
M. J. IANUAN.
General Superintendent
they have been at any time since the
terrible occurrence Sunday morning.
The "settling" had almost entirely
ceased as compared with the previous
day, and the rescuers have pushed
down Into the slope about u quarter of
the distance, or 250 feet.. Mine Inspec
tor McDonald stated last evening that
at the rate of progress they were then
making they might be able to reach
the foot of the slope and begin dig
ging into the buried workings at 7
o'clock this morning. Some of the men
may be close to the edse. of the fall,
others, and undoubtedly the main body
of them, are hundreds of feet beyond,
presumably 800 or 1,000 feet. No one
can tell or hardly conjecture how long
the work will require, as no one knows
the conditions that have to be met. Ex
ploring parties who pushed down tno
slope several hundred feet in advance
of the timbered part, reported that the
circumstances were quite favorable as
far as they went. Ten feet further It
may be just the opposite. Everything
Is in doubt, and the most the best in
formed can do is to conjecture.
The crowds continue to flock about
the shaft every hour of the day and
particularly during the evening. The
wives and mothers and other relatives
of the unfortunate men continue to
make frequent trips to the mouth of
the shaft and the heartrending scenes
are repeated hour after hour as they
come and go. No one stares at them.
All keep silence when they pass by.
There Is a ,reverence for their grief;
It Is such as man is seldom called upon
to bear, for the anxiety and the harrow
ing thoughts conjectured about the be
loved ones below are peculiar to the
terrible occasion of this nature.
Twenty-seven widows and ninety-six
orphans are among the bereaved.
There may be more than this as the
full list of the victims Is still un
known. The company yesterday gave
out an official list which contained 08
names and which It claimed Is the full
number of unfortunates. This may be
and may not be right. It will be some
time before a positively accurate list
can be made up.
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTENING.
Every Hope That the Bodies at Least
Will Be Recovered.
When the 3 o'clock shift went on yes
terday afternoon the prospects were
brighter that at any time since the cal
amity occurred. It was then felt that
there was every probability of the
bodies being reached and a possibility
of some of the men being recovered
alive.
The disturbances had entirely ceased
about the foot of the shaft and had al
rn wholly tlhlrid throughout tbn
entire mlna. The squeezing constantly
continues but is not to be compared at
all with yesterday. The rescuers report
ed most encouraging progress and be
lieving that the violent settling has sub
sided for good hoie to push ahead at
a far more rapid rate 'than they have
been going.
At one o'clock yesterday morning
there was another bad squeeze which
threatened to block the tunnel, but it
subsided without doing any great
amount of damage. At 4 o'clock there
was another squeeze which , was so
violent that the men ran for their lives
to the foot of the shaft, fearing that
the threatened genera cave-In was
coming. This abated gradually and in
an hour's time the rescuci fears were
allayed and they resumed work. The
subsidence continued and at 10 o'clock
In the morning the mine was quiet-r
than it had been at any time since the
cave-In. At nightfall the quaking had
so far disappeared that hope began to
daun that the threatened cave-In
had been averted and that
no more violent squeees will
occur. The fearful rumblings and sharp
reports of falling roof and bursting

pillars were heard only at rare Intervals
during the morning and In the after
noon the "working" had become so sub
dued that the noises caused but little
uneasiness.
Despite their many mishaps the night
shift, succeeded In reaching the angle
of No. 3 slope and when the morning
shift went on at 7 o'clock they began
the descent Into the workings where
the Imprisoned men-are. Their work Is
necessarily ardous and slow because
they are entering upon the main fall
and as a consequence they had gained
only about thlrly-flve feet at 3 o'clock
when they were relieved. Exploring
parties, however, pushed ahead another
hundred feet and reached a point about
760 feet from where Langan was last
seen which was In the shanty at the
foot of the slope. They could have gone
farther but thought It unwise to venture
too far from the pi o tec ted part of the
slope. .
During the morning they encountered
a trip of three cars wedged In by the
fallen rock. Not one of them was
crushed. It was with difficulty, how
ever, thut they were extricated as the
rocks on either side of them bound
thein tightly. This obstacle Is account
able In a great measure for the short
distance covered by the morning shift.
As they go along half the gang Is
engaged In clearing a passage and the
other half in timbering it behind them.
The boulders ure broken with Immense
sledges and loded Into cars which ure
taken back and emptied at the first
convenient place and then run to the
foot to be loaded with props. Four
mules were used during the morning,
but as the day wore on and it became
possible to make better progress
another team was sent down.
The exploring parties which Went
ahead report that the tunnelling will
be much easier farther on and that
possibly when the main fall Is leached
they will not have to tunnel at all,
simply climb over th fall, which being
heavier left the roof higher and virtual
ly of Itself forms an unbroken pasuge.
The men who came up at 3 o'cluck
felt thit the afternoon and night shuts
ought to be able to cover th? lemntning
T."0 feet cf the slope and that the gang
that goes In ut 7 o'clock this morning
will be enabled to commence digging
tor the entombed men.

these be crushed the whole air system
would be so disarranged that it would

from the river Is abating, now that no
signs of It appear. It Is reasoned that
if the cracks extend under the bed of

workings the water would have made

SILVER AGITATION
OUT AT CHICAGO
Various Democratic Leaders Are Still at
Sea for Plans of Action.
NOT A RAY OF HOPE FOR GOLD BUGS
A Iteportcd Alliance of Illinois and
Bland Forces i'nnscs Consternation
in the Boies Cunip-Iuterrhaiige of
Opinions at Mvetius of Bimetallic
Committee.
Chicago, June 30. A week In advance
of the day set for the opening of the
Democratic national convention, the
Undent of the sliver element have don
ned their armor and girded themselves
for the coming affray. Today the Sher
man house, where the white metul head
quarters have been located, resounded
with the shouts and yells of Its advo
cates, resplendent in 18 to 1 badges,
buttons and other Insignia, while Its
register bore more distinguished names
than have b?en Inscribed In the book
of the hostelry for a quarter of a. cen
tury. So far none of the prominent ad
vocates of the gold standard have put
In an appearance, and consequently the
silver people have undisputed possess
ion of the field.
From tomorrow, however, the former
wil begin to be in evidence, and from
then on every day will witness Borne
new phase of a battle between the ma
jority and the earnest, aggressive and
unconquerable minority.
The conspicuous features of the open
ing of the war today were the Confer
ence between the bl-metalllc Demo
cratic national committee and the out
side silver men; the meeting between
Governors Stone, of Missouri, nnd Alt
geld, of Illinois, and the declaration
of the Illinois delegation In favor of the
abrogation of the two thirds rule. As
to the first. It was much more largely
attended than hud been anticipated, In
View of the fact that It wan simply a
preliminary meeting. These were
amongst those who responded to the
rol call: nnlted States Senators Har
ris, of Tennessee; Bate, of Tennessee;
Jones, of Arkansas; Turple, of Indiana;
t'ockrell, of Missouri; Daniel, of Vlr
glnla: Senator-elect Money, of Mississ
ippi; Governors Stone, of Mhtsonrl; Alt
geld, of Illinois; Secretary of State Hen
llehsen. or Illinois; John O. Tomllson,
of Alabama: ex-Congressman G.'orge
W. Flthlan, of Illinois; B. F. Shlvely, of
Indiana; 8. B. Evans, of Iowa; George
P. Hummer, of Michigan; Judge Shack
teford, of Missouri; ex-Congressman
Vf. 3. Bryan and V. H. Thompson, of
Nebraska; John Welch nnd Judge W.
Mullane. fif Oregon-" V." o-.vor:, of
Salt Lake City; Wiley E. Jones', of
Arizona.
CONSPICUOUS ABSENTEES.
Among those expected, but who had
not arrived in the city, were ex-Congressman
Cassey Young, of Tenn-ssee;
ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp, of Geor
gia, and Allen W. Thiirman, of Ohio.
These, however, were the only con
spicuous absentees from a total of six
ty state committeemen and members
of the central executive committee.
The preliminary meeting lust less then
an hour. The situation was informal
ly discussed and It was agreed that
the silver forces need only to work har
moniously in order to insure the adop
tion of an out an out 10 to I platform.
What gave the conferees most concern
was the matter of the temporary or
ganization of the ronventif. The
fai t was dwelt upon thut the sentiment
of the national committee was opposed
to that of a majority of the elected dele
gates, but on the other hand it was in
sisted that it dll not necessarily follow
that the commlltee would go so far as
to attempt to gain any udvantage or at
tempt to consummate any strategic
stroke in the exercise of the authority
vested In It. In order to be on the sai'e
side, however. It wan finally determined
to appoint n committee of live to wult
upon the executive commHtce of liu
nulional committee, and as the reso
lution diplomatically put II, "to confer
with that body In reference to all ques
tions anil matters affecting the tempor
ary organization m.d proceedings."
This committee, as designated by Sena
tor Harris, who presided over the con
ference, is cmposcil of Senators Jones',
Turple. Daniels pud Governors Stone
and Altgeld. This committee repaired
to the headquarter. of the national
committee at Hie Palmer house after
dinner, but were Informed by Secretary
Sheerln that Chairman Ilurrity would
not arrive until tomorrow morning and
that a meeting of the executive com
mittee had been called for noon. The
delegates, therefore, intimated their
desire to be given, an audience at 2
o'clock.
STONK-ALTGELD CONFERENCE.
The conference between Governors
Stone, the leader of the Bland forces,
and Altgeld was held behind double
closed doors in the latter's quarters at
the Sherman house; Colonel Charles H.
Jones, of St. Louis, being the only out
sider present or within a hundred yards
of earshot. The conference was evident
ly pre-arranged as Governor Stone
went direct 'to the Sherman house after
registering at the Auditorium. Nearly
an hour was consumed in the confer
ence, and at Its conclusion not one of
those presnt would suy a word or
breathe a suggestion concerning its im
port. Governor Stone, however, ap
peared to be in particularly exhuberant
spirits and Insisted that Bland could
not keep out of the nomination. Six
teen to one. he said, meant Bland; Bland
meant M to 1, both meant free silver,
and that was the Issue of the day. The
news of the conference spread quickly
around town and 1t was at once taken
for granted that the Bland leaders had
made some kind of an alliance with
Governor Altgeld at whose word the 48
votes of Illinois will be cast as he wills,
and as a unite on all questions. Gov
ernor Altgeld was asked point blank
whether such an alliance had been af
fected, but he merely smiled and an
swered that the tlmeito talk had not ar
rived. Chicago, June 30. Consternation
was thrown Into the Boles camp this
afternoon by a report that an alliance
offensive and defensive has been af
fected between the Bland forces and
the Illinois delegation In the interest
of thf Missouri ex-congressman, anil
with Governor Stone as residuary lega
tee' In the event of the silver dollar
failing to win out. For three-quarters
of en hour, ending at noon. Governors
Altgeld and Stone were In conference
in an ante-room leading off from the
private parlor occupied by the former,
both the communicating and main
doors being locked. The only other
person present was Colonel Charles H.
Jones, of St. Louis, and who was there
presumably as a witness of what might
be said or done. The conference, as al
ready stated, occupied nearly fifty min
utes, and when the participants
emerged to the corridor they appeared
to be bubbling over with satisfaction
and good nature. All three were ap
proached in turn by the United Press
representative, but returned the stereo
typed answer that It had been agreed
that, for the present, not one word
should be said concerning the object of
the conference or Its result.
Only one construction was placed
upon the conference bftween the two
executives, and this Is that an alliance
of some nature or another had been
agreed upon between Governor Altgeld,
who carries the forty-eight r votes of
Illinois in his pocket, and Governor
Stone, who is here as a recognized
leader of the Bland forces.
BIMETALLIC COMMITTEE MEETS:
When the bimetallic committee went
Into session this afternoon, there was
an Informal interchange of opinions re
garding the crystallzing of the silver
forces on the money plank, a large num
ber of those present taking part In the
discussion. It was agreed, howevier,
that the matter of temporary organiza
tion was of first Importance and on
motion of Senator Cockrell, of Mis
souri, seconded by Senator J. W. Dan
iel, of Virginia, It was decided that
the chairman, Senator Isham O. Harris,
of Tennessee, should appoint a com
mittee of live to wait upon the execu
tive committee of the Democratic na
tional committee and confer with them
relative to all questions and matters
affecting the temporary organization
and proceedings of the national con
vention. The chair appointed as such commit
tee Senators Jones, of Arkansas;Turple,
of Indiana; Daniel, of Virginia; Gov
ernor Stone, of Missouri, and Governor
Altgeld. of Illinois. The conference ut
i o'clock was declared adjourned until
Wednesduy morning.

Letter front Moreton Frewen, the Noted
English Bimelallist Cleveland's
Course Discussed.
Denver, June 30. The following let
ter from Moreton Frewen, the noted
English bimetallism hab been made
public:
2." Ohesham Placn,
London, June 17, 189G.
Dear Mr. Merrick: Thank you for your
letter and for your book, which I shall
read with interst. You, In the States,
have at last arrived at that currency crisis
which every Intelligent student has seen
eo inevitably advancing. I affirm with
strong conviction that the way would
have been prepared during the past throe
years for an International settlement of
this great ilifTlcuHy had it not been for tin;
fortitude of Just one man your president.
Mr. Cleveland Is paying the penally for
the obstinate determination he has evinced
Ihroughout to thrust your country In not
merely the gold standard, but the straight
est gold monometallism.
Thoso of us who liuve been ardent work
ers here tor International bimetallism
have found ocrselves at all points crossed
ami defeated by ..Mr. Cleveland's actions
and Mr. Cleveland's emissaries. He has
sent .VI r. Atkinson over here on a speclul
mission to try to persuade those In the
present cabinet such men are Mr. Chaplin
and Mr. Ktilfour that they were "cranks"
that the concurrent legal tender of the
two metals was Impracticable. .Mr. Hid
foitr's difficulties within Lord Salisbury's
cabinet were In any cuse very greut. They
were made infinitely greater by the ridi
cule poured upon the whole project of
currency reform by Mr. Cleveland, Mr. .1.
Sterling Morton, Mr. Hoke Smith and
others. The speeches und absurd letters
of these gentleman were six mouths uo
to be found In many of our dally panen.
So Impossible had become the position
land In : li's'con'ieetion 1 know of what I
inn wrilir.g) of these iii-iiiImij, of our
governiip ut who Wile pledged to cnn-ea-cy
reform, because of the attitude of the
government which lust year we for t'm
time gave no the si niggle.
I rejoice then in the revolt of the Dem
ocratic party nnd 1 venture to say nlo
that should that parly be successful In
elcctliv-r a free silver president nnd con
gress, before Mr. Cleveland goes out of
the white house un international arrange,
inert will have been secured. The Rotchs
chllds here the wealthy Investors In ev
ery capital In Europe could not afford
to sit still and see your country "go It
alone." Uurppe will respond to your spir
ited Initiative, nnd If the United States
pledges Itself to Immediate free coinage,
I emphatically believe that M. Mellne, on
hehalf of France, will offer free mintage;
we here are pledged to reopen the Indian
mints, while the delegates to the recent
conference at Brussels, which, I attend
ed, gave us every encouragement to hope
that Germany, Austria and Russia would
follow in the event of free coinage in the
United States and France, to purchase a
large qunntlty of silver annually to swell
their legal tender money. To pur 1'ase it.
I may add, if they can get hold of the
metal at all.
Believe me, with much regard.
Yours very faithfully,
Moreton Frewe.
